National Dog Day in Baltimore

August 26 is National Dog Day, meaning it’s the perfect time to get outside and enjoy the day with your furry best friend. Luckily, Baltimore is a very dog-friendly city with plenty of amazing ways to celebrate. Your dog (or dogs) will be wagging their tail at all the things to do!

National Dog Day at the Rotunda

Join The Rotunda and Maryland SPCA on Saturday, August 26 for a free event guaranteed to perk up both you and your pet. With acoustic music, food vendors, a Flea-less yard sale and more, National Dog Day at the Rotunda is a must visit for any dog owner. Even if you don’t own a dog, make sure to stop by to look at the adoptable pets brought by the SPCA. Maybe you’ll find a new four-legged companion!

Dog Spa Experiences

Dogs love the spa just as much as humans. Give your pet the luxury treatment they deserve at one of Baltimore’s many dog spas, such as Happy Dog. Happy Dogs takes a holistic approach to canine wellness, considering physical, emotional, and environmental factors in their treatment. With services such as grooming, acupuncture, and positive reinforcement training, this spa will have your furry companion glowing with delight.

Another spa ready to pamper your pup is Baltimore Bark House, a doggie daycare, hotel, and spa. Whether your pet needs their nails cut, hair blown out, or ears cleaned, Baltimore Bark House’s highly experienced groomers are ready to give your dog the deluxe treatment they deserve!

Dogtopia is also ready to give your dog an experience so good they’ll be barking for more. With high flexibility and regular socialization, Dogtopia will ensure your dog will perk up whenever you mention the word “groomer.” Join their weekly wellness plan to give your pet some well-deserved, consistent high-end treatment!

Dog Parks

Just like humans, dogs are social creatures and love spending time and playing with friends. There’s no better place to do that than one of Baltimore’s dog parks! Patterson Dog Park, voted Baltimore Magazine’s “Best Place for Fido,” has been one of the best fenced, off-leash dog parks in the area since its founding in 2012. Your dog will always be your best friend first, but at Patterson, they’ll be able to find another four-legged buddy!

Locust Poin Dog Park within Latrobe Park is another premier canine destination. With artificial turf, trees, rock outcropping, and a water slide, Locust Dog Point is an exciting but safe environment for all dogs. The park is even reserved for small and senior dogs every day from 9am to 10am and 3pm to 4pm, so no matter the size and age of your pet, they can enjoy this pup haven!

Bark Social knows how fun it can be when you and your pet are enjoying yourselves at the same time, which is why they offer a unique bar experience for dog owners and non-dog owners alike! With delicious food, cocktails, and TVs inside and out, humans can have a great night out with their furry best friends by their sides!
